Action is the antidote to despair.

Be slow in considering, but resolute in action.

Active natures are rarely melancholy-activity and sadness are incompatible.

Every action of our lives touches on some chord that will vibrate in eternity.

A man's most open actions have a secret side to them.

We must not, in trying to think about how we can make a big difference, ignore the small daily differences we can make which, over time, add up to big differences that we often cannot foresee.

A man's action is only a picture book of his creed.

Be active first thyself, Then seek the aid of heaven; For to the worker God Himself lends aid.

Action is the proper fruit of knowledge.

Give me the ready hand rather than the ready tongue.
